Modify your program to pause when the problem happens (e.g., by
calling `getch').  Then open another DOS box, look at the temporary
file created by `popen', and tell what does it contain.

(You can find the temporary file used by `popen' in the `tmp'
subdirectory of the DJGPP installation directory, by sorting the files
there by their creation time.)

Also, what kind of program is `rsh'?  Is it a Windows program, a DJGPP 
program, or compiled with some other compiler?  You say that it works on 
DOS, so I guess it's not a Windows program; in that case, what network 
library does it use to connect to the Unix host?
